We’re National Make Good Solutions, or NMGS, the make good services experts who Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Australia-wide tenants and landlords call when a commercial lease needs to be on time and negotiated in their favour.
As a registered commercial builder with over 50 years’ combined industry experience and CM3-accredited safety systems, we manage office make goods, warehouse make good services and industrial de-fits nationally, from scope negotiation through to landlord sign-off.
We’re Australian-owned and family-run, which is why we work around your site instead of the other way around, staging jobs to keep your business operating and negotiating scope in your favour rather than the landlord’s.
End of lease make good is your contractual obligation to hand a commercial or industrial property back in the condition your lease requires, exactly as set out in the make good provision in your lease.
That usually means:
Some landlords want a full restoration; others accept a broom-clean handover. Get this wrong, and you risk a bond dispute or a hefty landlord invoice after you’ve already handed back the keys, so know which one applies before you budget or book a moving date.
We plan and manage your entire project, providing high-end commercial property maintenance Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane landlords rely on. With NMGS, your project is kept simple, consistent, on-budget and on-schedule.

Stripout means removing every fitout, fixture and fitting, back to shell condition. It’s usually the first phase when your lease requires a full restoration.
De-fit is more selective. We remove specific items while keeping others in place, based on your lease or what we negotiate with your landlord.
The overarching obligation, which includes stripout or de-fit plus repairs, painting, cleaning and service reinstatement to meet your lease.

It depends on your make good provision. Some leases require a full de-fit back to bare floors and walls, others allow you to leave fitouts in place if the landlord agrees. We review your lease and negotiate with your landlord to cut back unnecessary de-fit work wherever we can.
Unless your lease says otherwise, the tenant pays. That said, cost can often be negotiated: some landlords absorb works that benefit the next tenant, others offer a contribution for early exit, and sometimes an incoming tenant takes over your fitout. We negotiate this on your behalf before work starts. Read more about how much a commercial make good costs.
Typically: removing partitions, fitouts and cabling, patching walls and floors, reinstating electrical and plumbing, painting, carpet treatment or removal, and a full clean and rubbish removal. Industrial make goods often add racking removal, floor sealing and line marking removal. We confirm the exact scope against your lease before we start.
No, NMGS works with any scale project to return your commercial space to original condition and to meet your end-of-lease obligations.
It depends on scope, but timeframes are usually shorter than tenants expect. A full stripout takes longer than a selective de-fit, and live-site work adds staging time. As a guide, we completed a full-site make good across 28,000 square metres for a Mondelez warehouse in just 10 weeks. We’ll give you a firm program of works once we’ve scoped your site and lease requirements, not a vague estimate.
Yes. We schedule disruptive work outside business hours, set up safe zones, and stage the job so you keep access to what you need. It’s how most of our warehouse and office make goods run, without shutting your business down or your team scrambling for a plan B.
